We want people. We have some great people in this country.

On Tuesday however, Trump suggested during a taped town hall hosted by Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he might be open to letting some of the undocumented immigrants living in the USA stay.
That’s another way of asking whether anything at all will change in this race between now and November.
The upcoming speech will be Trump’s fifth visit to the Valley since launching his campaign a year ago. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. “I am proud to say that I know many hardworking Mexicans – many of them are working for and with me…and, just like our country, my organization is better for it”.
“You’re going to have a deportation force, and you’re going to do it humanely”, he had said. But that turns out not to be the case.
Trump and his top advisers have repeatedly sent mixed messages surrounding a potential pivot by Trump away from one his most controversial proposals – creating a “deportation force” to kick out of the country millions of undocumented immigrants.
“These worldwide gangs and cartels will be a thing of the past”.
I think that both candidates, Crooked Hillary and myself, should release detailed medical records. “But that’s not what actually happened, and I was in the room”, he said.
But Stephen Moore, a conservative economist who has worked with Trump to shape his tax and economic plans, says the vagueness on Trump’s economic policies was by design. Or something like that-it’s a little hard to tell.
“That’s not going to change”, said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday (August 28). “I do not know which Donald Trump will show up”.
And on ABC’s This Week, Trump adviser and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was making a fool of himself – on the one hand, he insisted, “look, I think [Trump] has been very clear on this…”, but not so clear that Christie would say if Trump still meant to deport all of the estimated 11 million undocumented migrants in the US. Pence also did not answer whether the campaign believes, as Trump has said, that children born to people who are in the USA illegally are not US citizens.
Anti-Trump folks are nearly as vicious as those who oppose Hillary Clinton, and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump gives them plenty of fodder. More than 650,000 applications have been approved, and presumably these people would be subject to deportation under a Trump presidency.
It turns out that Donald Trump lied about building a wall and making Mexico pay for it, as Trump is instead focusing on reviving a failed Bush policy to construct a “virtual wall” along the US Southern border. Joni Ernst’s “Roast and Ride” were an illustration of the pivot he is attempting — from his promise during the primaries to deport all undocumented immigrants, to a new narrowed focus on immigrant criminals.
The Republican nominee is expected to propose a position more appealing to America’s immigrant community, in his speech. Sixty-three percent of Republicans said that undocumented immigrants mostly fill jobs Americans don’t want to do.
The new Trump ad, called “Two Americas: Economy”, portrays Clinton’s policies as bad for the middle class, while promising new jobs if Trump is elected. There has been debate within his campaign about immigrants who haven’t committed crimes beyond their immigration offenses.
Republican vice presidential nominee iterated similar views. A few weeks later, Trump was “softening”.
Trump’s shift has already caused some backlash from his most staunch supporters, even his former opponents who now support him.

Part of the difficulty with fact checking attacks on Trump based on his statements is that he often has made contradictory comments – or made bold attacks that he later tried to clarify.
